Hope it's alright fella's. Suns by 10. How will Amare's D hold up against a perimeter PF like Yi, of course how will Yi defend Amare.

Nice work

- need to contain Harris' penetration
- make sure a guy like Simmons doesn't sneak up and drop 15-20 on us, he's a good shooter and slightly underrated I think
- have to use Diaw against their frontline of Lopez/Boone as I think he's far too smart/skilled for them to stop him one on one
- use the goddamn pick and roll more. Amare KILLS these guys using it...what's wrong with running it 2-3 times each quarter?

Also no recent photos? Every Net on their old team bar Boone!? eek man :D

Nice work buddy. Surely NBA.com have picks in their profile for the relevant players? :lol:

God I hope the Nation of Raptors have this game available.

This is another game Porter needs to rely on his interior Post play, get Shaq involved early and work Amare low on the block. Hopefully the Suns see some more bench play and the 2nd unit logs significant minutes.

I miss the days when Nash and NJN version Jason Kidd used to square off already.

Vince always sh :censored: on us, don't see us containing him. Harris' D on Nash could be dangerous... but this is a game we really should be taking without any trouble if we're a top level team, they don't have much quality talent on their roster anymore.

On the inside, Amare should go slap happy on Yi, but Boone's a pretty solid defender and might give Shaq trouble.

I expect our 2nd unit to do better vs the Nets bench scrubs then they did vs Portland's 2nd unit. Barbs and Hill in particular needa step up

Jesus do the Nets have a bunch of scrubs or what? My god we could sit Nash, Shaq, STAT and we would still have a great chance to win as long as VC didn't go off on us.

I am actually pretty excited to see Lopez vs. Lopez. Porter better sub in Robin the second Brook gets in and actually give him more than 5mins of playing time.

CDR and Lopez are both dangerous off the bench for the Nets

If we are clicking this should be a relatively easy win. I hope Amare goes for 30 and 10. We have a good chance of going on a 6 game winning streak these next couple of games if we can control the turnovers and play as a team

You don't want anyone voting for Barry because when 2012 comes around the economy will really be in trouble and Republicans will take over all branches of govt. Sheeeesh!

Pick and Roll this to death. Their front line is way to inexperienced to even slow down the Nash and Amare PnR.

I see Nash putting up something like 15assists against them. Also 4-5TO's. Since we're not playing a top team we should give our bench more burn.

Pretty funny stuff.

If anyone is watching so far on Broadband League pass..

They keep coming back to the YES announcers midway through their break on accident.

Hopefully we'll get a nice juicy candid statement at some point in the game. :)
